Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few better images of the surface of the amber.

Dear Miguel,

Thank you for the additional images and your patience. The presented object appears to be a candelabra with unknown measurements. The candelabra was made out of a metal mounting and a material which reminds of amber. In my opinion, this material is too homogeneous to be amber but this has to be tested physically. Also, the use of such a big piece of amber in combination with brass or a not precious metal does not make sense. More probably this is a synthetical material. This piece was made in the first half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 30 to 60 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
